CHARLES CEA sCHooNovER, or Los ANGELES, CALIFORNIA.

To all whom t mayhconcem A y y y, Beit known that I, CHARLES O. S'CriooN- OVER, acitizen ofthe United States, residing at Los Angeles, in the County of Los An geles'and 'State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in yOutlet Connections for Sinks, of which the following is a specification. I

This invent-ion relatesl to kitchen sinks and similar fixtures andit'has for its object to provide an outlet connection for the same-which shallbe simple in construction,

easily applied and eiiicient in operation, and by the use of rwhich wipe joints shall' be avoided.

A further object ofthe invention is to provide a simple and efficient outlet connection embodying in its construction a strainer cup having a seat upon which `a strainer may be removably supported. n

A still further object of the invention is to provide an outlet connection which may y be Vapplied and effectively tightenedv withyout the use of screw threaded connections.

Further objects of theinvention are to simplify and vimprove the generalconstruci tion and operation of this class ofdevices.

y'With these and other'ends in view which will readily appear as the-nature of the in- 30 vention is better understood, the same consists in the improved construction and novel arrangement and combination vof parts which will be hereinafter fully described andparticularly pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawing has been l illustrated a simple and preferredform of the invention; it being however understood that no limitation is necessarily made to the `precise structural details `therein exhibited,

but that changes, alterations and modifications within the scope of 'the invention-may be resorted to when desired; i

In the drawing: Figure lis a perspective view with parts broken away showing a `sink equipped with the improved outlet connection. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view rshowing the outlet connectiondetached from j the sink. Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional "view taken on the line VB--SinFigk` l Y Corresponding parts inthe several figures are denoted by Vlikecharacters of reference.y A Y The present invention isespecially. appliplane ,indicated by the ,cable to and adapted to be used in connectionwithl so called iiat bottomed sinks, a

of the drawings, said sink having a fiat bot tom which isl not providedk with a strainen cup but merely vwith an aperture which may, be surrounded bya shallow'seatfor the 4rie-' i ,outletn ange as shown atlfv ceptionv of the in Fig. 2.

The improvedoutlet connectioncomprises\ .g

an externally and internally "smooth'and unobstructedpipe 6 which ispreferably madelig of-spun or drawn metalsuch ,as brassor copperfwhichrmay be nickel-plated orV otherwise protected against corrosion;y said pipe'fjf r i Y 70, Y pandedllportionformingka cup-shaped re; f ceptacle 7 whichconstitutes the strainer cup being providedl atv its upper lend with an exspe-@imejii of Whiehs Shown at' A ming. i s

and whichisprovided at its upper edgewithff alaterally extending annularliange 8. The strainer 9 is supported inthe cup 7 which with supporting means for said strainer, said supportingy means being in the form,I of

inwardly'extending lugs or an' annular rib I 58o as shown-at 10.

B designates, a' clamping device which has'l .Y been illustrated as "being, composed of af flexible metallic strip 1l the ends of which f' f are suitably connected withA clamping lugs l2 having extensions 13 for the passage' of -a connecting, bolt V14 whereby the clampingy device may, be tightened as will be readily.`

understood.

The flange 8 `at the upper extremity the strainer cup is provided with apertures connecting members such* y Y as bolts l5 whereby it may be secured upon for'thepassage of the bottom of y the sink.

In practice, the improved connection is,` s

seated in'theaperturein the bottom of the sink where it is secured by the fastening members 15; packing material ofa plastic and `its seat.y The lower extremity of the nature such as putty or white lead being `preferably interposed between the Vflange 8 pipe` 6is inserted into the connecting pipe the connectingpipe 16, whichmayfbe made oflead or other ductile'metal is firmly connected with the pipe 6 by means rof. the

may be one of Y the vertical .p branches of a trap as shown at C in 1;

clamping `deviceB by` means of which thef pipe 16. maybe compressed and tightened upontheipipe 6'. Plastic packing material f i may be interposedk if desired in order t0 make a tight f joint.

From the foregoing Vdescription taken 7T may be provided adjacent-5to its upper edgeV Connection with the drawings hereto anneXed the operation and advantages of this invention will be readily understood by those skilled in the art to which it appertains. The Qonstructon is simple and iny expensive, and the device may be very readily applied to flat bottomed sinks and similar structures. The strainer plate may be readily removed thus affording access to the strainer cup whenever desired. The iniproved outlet connection allo-ws for variation in length, and it may be readily installed without necessitating the cutting of pipes. Disconnection of the parts may be easily effected whenever desired in order to afford access to the trap.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is- Y The combination with a sink of the flatexpanded at its upper end to form an annur larly flanged cup the flange of which engages the shallow seat upon the bottom of the sink and is flush with said bottom, connecting bolts extending through the flange of the cup and through the recessed portion of the sink bottom constituting a seat, and a strainer detachably supported upon and within the cup.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
